VOLADOR Freeride Longboard Cruiser | Maple Wood Deck| Drop Through Longboard Complete

I love this board! As a very clumsy person who has has no poor experience with longboarding, I thought I wouldn’t do well. But this board is super reliable! It’s been only a few days but I’ve been zipping down the neighborhood and down hills around town. It’s very sturdy too ( my dad, around 250lbs, jokingly tried to hop on it, and the board didn’t even cave) . I seriously recommend this to anyone, especially beginners!

The board arrived just yesterday. I got this for myself because I usually ride a Santa Cruz cruiser and wanted a longboard that would let me ride and relax a little bit more. Great board pretty much right out of the box. The board is a good size; 40 is neither incredibly long or short. The deck is a little flexy without feeling unstable. The wheels are very soft. The trucks turn VERY well without any adjustment. Of course, as with any cheap board, the bearings arent great, but those are easily changed (They were better than my Santa Cruz stock bearings, though). Adjustments to be made before you ride at all: Tighten up the screws holding the trucks to the board. They were a little loose when I got the board, so I used a 3/8 inch six-point socket wrench and a Phillips screwdriver to tighten that up. Loosen up the nuts over the wheels. They come screwed on very tight. I used the middle sized socket on my skateboard T-tool to loosen up each one about 30 degrees. A full quarter turn (45 degrees) seemed like a little too much.

I’ve been using for a month almost every day and it’s been great so far. I bought it as a cheap replacement for my board that I couldn’t take abroad but I was pleasantly surprised with the flex of the board. Turning is very easy as well, even at the first try. The only thing that scared me on the moment is that the screws of the trucks were almost totally gone after a few hours riding. Might be careful with that when receiving the board, but with a t tool it shouldn’t be a problem. Anyway, great board for the low price and cruising around !

Im a beginner at longboarding, but Im not one to just buy something that looks cool/pretty assuming it will be good quality. Ive researched a lot regarding what type of deck would be nice for me, and Ive also asked my friends who longboard what I should go with. My area has a lot of slopes and straightaways, so I wanted a board that would be great for cruising but I also didnt want to break the bank, especially since Im only a beginner. Overall, I just wanted a decent board thats affordable and rides well. This board is honestly a pretty nice ride. I was recommended a drop through deck since these are better for cruising and carving, which is all I want lolol. The wheels are alright, they could be better. I figured I just had to break them in by riding for an hour or so, but I loosened them a bit and that made all the difference. I might replace them with something else soon though. As for the trucks, they are a bit tight at first, so if you really want to make smooth turns without lifting and moving the board with your weight at the back, I suggest getting a skate tool to loosen the trucks. You can just fine tune it to your liking. The design is one of my favorite things about the board! I got the vintage floral design since I love floral print, and I think the design on the grip tape is pretty rad as well. As for the deck quality, I think its pretty good. Im a small and lightweight person (barely 115 lbs) so the board doesnt respond that much to my weight even if I jump on it, so I let my dad (whos always been a fit and burly dude) stand on it and kind of gently bounce on the board, but it definitely holds it own. This is a great size too if you want more stability compared to a regular skateboard, nickel board, or penny board. Like I said, Im small, but this board has a low center of gravity which I freakin love because Im more comfortable cruising on it. If you plan on bombing hills and whatnot though, I suggest changing out the bearings with ones that are designed for a faster ride. Overall, the board is great if youre looking for a starter board and dont want to spend a lot of money. Ive been practicing every other day for 20 minutes at a time for about 2 weeks now, and Im already comfortable with my backyard roundabout area, so now I just gotta take it around the neighborhood. :)

I love that this board is stylish and functional! I think the length of this board suits me quite well and is a great first board. Its pretty decent quality for what you pay for it- most beginners want a cheapish board to start on because trust me when I say your board will get beat up. For me this is perfect because the handling is just right to get a feel for riding long boards. A friend of mine has this same board and has run it in to a curb at high speed more times than I can count and shes only managed to chip the very end of the board but it still rides just as well. Never pay more than $200 for your first board, but I dont recommend paying under $90. This was $120 and I believe its totally worth it! Just make sure you invest in safety equipment too! Its worth it!

Good for a beginner ‘s, as I myself am. I am by no means an expert, still very much a novice so I can’t speak to the nuances of the board. But even as a beginner I can tell that the stress fractures forming Where the trucks attach to the board speak to the quality of the board itself. I’ve had the board for maybe two months now and have strictly used it on a tennis court outside my home as I learned how to balance and turn in maneuver, for the first month and 3/4. I have only taken it on a path, a paved pathway three times for a total of about 6 miles. Still far from putting major even moderate wear and tear on the board and the stress fractures have surfaced. Now i got the board for 40 bucks on Amazon warehouse so I’m not complaining but if I paid the full price I might be irritated

It is a great board but the wheels are definitely for starting out. Youre going to want to replace them

Overall a great product! Specially for beginners who want to go slow & people of low weight. I’m 93 lbs and turning on this is easier than on my last one. It’s springy too. I’m going pretty slow even with powerful kicks so I do need to change the bearings but i dont want to go too fast at this point anyways so it’s working for me. It’s a good board for the price. I dont think it will break anytime soon. Seems very sturdy. Great for winter cruising.

Pretty pleased with this longboard overall. The deck is a little stiff but not bad. The wheels it comes with are decent. I’ve rolled over quite a bit of pebbles and twigs with no really issues. My only complaint is that the bearings did not last long at all. Two of them have already gone bad in just a little over a month so those already need to be replaced. Other than that I’d say it was worth the money.

Ive not tried any of the other Longboards you can find here on Amazon, so Ive no comparison when it comes to boards around this price. That being said Ive ridden Name Brand boards costing three times as much and that fact alone is mind boggling. Just today I was riding a COREFLEX COMPOUND FLEX 3 Drop Through Longboard from DB Longboards which is retailed at over $200 and a CoreFlex Crossbow Flex 3 40 Longboard by DB Longboards which is retailed at Zumiez for $200 plus, (at 35 to 40 mph) and this board from VOLADOR which cost only $60 dollars is ON THAT LEVEL. That being said, not only are the DB Longboards similar, but Arbor boards too. When you boil it down the only difference between VOLADOR and Name Brands are that some of them can go a little longer and cruise without having to push. - Wheels are a bit hard, but that sort of thing is preferential (Reasons for riding). - No shake or wobble at 35 to 40 mph speeds. - Extended tail and nose good for popping up. - Easy to Kickflip. All in all this is the best deal. An Arbor board or DB isnt worth the extra price.
